Ticketholders will be assigned groups and escorted by guides to various performance sites. Guides will remain with groups for the entire performance, escorting patrons through the series of different sites, all culminating together at the final performance site. Audiences will be standing throughout this engagement and walking from one site-specific dance piece to the next, across various campus terrain, including some levels and stairs. There are a total of seven sites within a two-block radius. Sites are both outside and indoors. We recommend wearing appropriate clothing and shoes for the weather and walking.
